Legal Status for Haitians in the United States

February 1st, 2010 by admin

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians is now available due to the January 12, 2010 earthquake. Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Napolitano has stated “this is a disaster of historic proportions and this designation will allow eligible Haitian nationals in the United States to continue living and working in our country for the next 18-months. Providing a temporary refuge for Haitian nationals who are currently in the United States and whose personal safety would be endangered by returning to Haiti is part of this Administration’s continuing efforts to support Haiti’s recovery.”

How to qualify

Note: There will be potential scams by non-attorneys looking to take advantage of Haitian nationals, so it is important to utilize experienced TPS immigration attorneys in order to ensure that your filing is performed in a timely and proper manner.
